Joyce Ratliff Poet I do not know?

Mistaken

I never thought my tears would fall for you. 
Never thought i would see meaness in your eyes. 
I thought you were a friend. 
A steady place, safe harbor from my troubled winds.
I never thought our trust and bound would be so broken. 
Never thought harsh,cruel words would be spoken. 
I thought your were my friend. 
A shelter where i didn't have to pretend. 

I never thought it was leading anywhere. 
But i never thought you didnt care.
